Therapy for Teens and Adults in Santa Clarita

Individual therapy is like finally having a mirror that does not distort your reflection. You see yourself clearly, without judgment, and learn how to manage emotions with strategies that fit your real life. Sessions in Santa Clarita help you walk away feeling more authentic and less weighed down by doubt.

Group therapy is like joining a campfire where everyone brings their own story, and the warmth comes from realizing you are not alone. Teens in Santa Clarita discover that sharing their voice gives them courage and listening to others builds trust and belonging.

EMDR is like updating old software that keeps freezing your system. The memories are still there, but once reprocessed, they stop crashing your present. In Santa Clarita, EMDR therapy helps you feel freer and more in control of your life.

Anxiety is like having twenty browser tabs open at once with music playing from one of them, but you cannot find which. In therapy, we close those tabs, calm the noise, and give your mind space to focus again. Clients in Santa Clarita often find themselves breathing easier and sleeping better.

Depression can feel like living in a house with all the curtains closed, even when the sun is shining outside. Therapy helps teens slowly open those curtains, letting light in and making room for motivation, energy, and joy again.

Burnout is like running a marathon on a treadmill, you are moving constantly but never getting anywhere. Therapy helps students in Santa Clarita step off, catch their breath, and set a healthier pace that brings both progress and balance.

Post grad life can feel like being handed a map with no street names. In therapy, we redraw that map together so the path feels clearer, achievable, and actually yours. Clients in Santa Clarita often find renewed motivation and confidence.

Teenage trauma is like carrying a backpack full of bricks that no one else can see. Therapy helps lighten that load by processing painful memories safely, reducing emotional triggers, and allowing teens in Santa Clarita to feel stronger and more secure.

The right therapy for teens and young adults is the one that meets them where they are emotionally and culturally. EMDR, ACT, mindfulness, and expressive practices can all be useful, but the most important part is that therapy feels safe, flexible, and tailored to their reality.

I value in person therapy because the connection is immediate and grounded. I also understand that many clients need virtual therapy, and I provide that option. For clients in Santa Clarita, both formats work, and sometimes we combine them depending on your needs.

I am out-of-network. If you have a PPO plan, you may receive partial reimbursement. I provide superbills each month that you can submit to your insurance company.

Please let me know at least 24 hours before canceling to avoid being charged. If rescheduling within the same week is possible, I will always try to make it work.

I recommend beginning weekly because this allows us to build trust and momentum. Every-other-week is an option later, once you are making progress and want to maintain it.
